Rebirth: Dancing In My Destiny
Chapter 364: Slap

Chapter 364: Slap

Randy doesn’t know how long Rose froze in place. Without saying anything. Without moving. It was as if she had turned into a statue.

Her usually bright eyes turned chilly, like a cold lake. If her eyes didn’t blink, Randy must have thought the girl had actually turned into a statue of the ice goddess.

But a second later, Randy saw her chilly face slowly turn black as if someone had just hung a dark cloud near her head.

Still can’t digest Randy’s sentences. "He Dies!?" Rose murmurs under her breath.

Oliver died because of her—He protected her from the tree branch—how can she carry on her life with this burden?

After a while, Rose could express what was on her mind.

"Please tell me, Randy... you’re playing a prank on me, right? This isn’t real!!! I knew my dad could have saved him. My dad never lost a patient on his operating table. Never!!!" She stared intently at Randy—her eyes had lost their usual radiance.

There was still doubt in her mind. Oliver did not die, but he was kicking and alive.

"Sorry, I can help your best friend..." Rose was surprised to hear her father’s voice from behind Randy. Her eyes trembled at her father standing there with his gloomy face.

"What!! Even her godly doctor-father can’t help Oliver!? So, is this news true? Oliver died?" Rose said to herself, "No!! I can’t believe it..." She gritted her teeth and threw away the blanket.

"Dad, Evan, I want to see him... I want to see Oliver’s body!"

Evan, who was standing beside Rose, could hear her weak voice. "Hmm... let’s go," Evan said.

With Evan’s help, Rose was finally able to stand up straight. For some reason, she felt that her legs were frail.

It took a bit of strength to drag her body to the door. She didn’t say anything, just following Evan, supporting her from the side.

A few steps from her treatment room, she saw a figure she hadn’t seen in a long time; A thin old woman with light gray short hair walked towards her.

The old woman’s face was grim, and her eyes flashed hatred directly at Rose.

Rose’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the figure getting closer to her. She wanted to hug and apologize to that old woman. Because of her, the old woman’s only grandson died.

"G-Grandma..." Before Rose could finish her words, a brutal slap landed on her cheek.

Rose looked at Oliver’s grandmother in shock as if struck by lightning; Rose’s body shivered at how evil granny’s eyes were now. It was as if this granny wanted to kill Rose with her sinister gaze.

Nicholas Spencer and Randy were surprised to see the old woman slapping Rose hard. Just before they wanted to react... Evan’s loud voices echo through the corridor.

"WHAT are you doing!!" Evan raised his hand and wanted to push that old woman but Rose quickly held his hand.

"Don’t do that! I know I deserve it..." Rose looked at Evan blankly. Evan was astonished at how sorrowful his wife was now. He could only grit his teeth in anger.

How can he let someone beat his wife? Right before his eyes?

This old woman is courting death!

Evan would have killed this person if she wasn’t a woman or Oliver’s Grandma.

Now that he couldn’t do anything, he could only stare at this old woman with his sinister gaze.

The old woman sneered, looking at Rose, "You deserve it! No, a slap isn’t enough for you, but you must die like my grandson!!!" The old woman’s loud voice made several nurses at the end of the corridor stare at them.

Evan and the others were shocked to hear this old woman cursing Rose. They wanted to do something, but seeing Rose forbid them to do it, they could only curse this old woman in their hearts.

"I know everything about my grandson’s condition... I know from the police my grandson was pierced by a tree branch because he wanted to protect you!! That poor boy is so stupid. Why... Why did he trade his life with you? Why?" The old woman said between her tears.

"Grandma, I’m sorry..." Rose started crying again. She received a hard slap and sincerely accepted Oliver’s grandmother, who blamed her—she won’t complain.

To Rose, she owed Oliver her life—she would always blame herself until then.

"You know, he’s the only family I have in this life. Why, why did he just leave me like that? Now, how can I spend my life now? How can I face her mother in heaven?" Granny couldn’t take it anymore. She fell asleep on the floor, crying loudly.

The atmosphere around the corridor was so gloomy no one made a sound. Only the old grandmother’s cries could be heard.

But a moment later, like Oliver’s grandmother, Rose also fell to the floor. She’s kneeling in front of Oliver’s grandmother—they cried together to express their sadness because their loved one had finally died.

Leave them for good.

Rose was crying out loud...

"W-Wife..." Evan shook Rose’s shoulder gently. He was shocked to see his wife crying hard while she was sleeping.

Does she have a bad dream!?

"Wife! Rose... wake up. Why are you crying?" Evan asked worriedly. What dream made her cry until tears rolled down her cheeks!?

Evan was confused. This was the first time he had seen something like this happen to her.

Rose faintly heard someone calling her name. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Evan’s blue eyes staring back at her. His worried eyes made her wake up from her sleep.

"Husband!! I want to see Oliver’s dead body. Please take me there..." Rose threw off the blanket and got out of bed, but when she saw Oliver’s grandmother and her parents in the corner of the room—the sitting area—she was shocked.

Why are they chatting happily now? Didn’t granny hate her so much? Doesn’t she blame her anymore?

Rose was confused. She looks at Evan. He is looking at her with a confused look.
